Definitions

  • the invention relatesv to chassis construction and particularly to a chassis construction sion thereof, that a car equipped with the improved chassis is characterized, by very easy riding qualities.
  • the objects of my invention are in the main achieved by providing a chassis having side sills of deepened section between the front and rear axles and bulging putwardly be tween the front and rear wheels to avertical longitudinal plane adjacent the plane of the wheels, the rear portions of the sills being rather abruptly ofi'set inwardly-to provide spaces to receive portions of the rear wheels; and by suspending the rear axle from these rear ofiset portions of the sills and from a cross brace connecting the sills at a'location forwardly of the offset.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the improved chassis construction, showing the relation'of the same to the running gear and spring suspension,
  • Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.
  • the side sills 10 of the chassis are shown diverging slightly in their forward portions, say from the extreme front ends of the sills to the regions as at 11 where the front posts of the body adapted to be associated therewith are located when the parts are assembled. From the points 11 rearwardly, the sills bulge outwardly, diverging on a curve preferably an arc of a circle conforming to the lower edge of the body superstructure adapted to be associated therewith to point 12 just forwardly of the rear wheels adjacent the point .where the rear door post is located in the case of a sedan body superstructure associated therewith. Thesills in this region are bulged outwardly of the chassis substantially to the plane of the wheels. From the points 12 rearwardly,
  • sills so formed are of the usual inwardly facing channel sec- .tion, but have their intermediate portions vertically deepened, which deepening, together with the bulged shape of the sills in plane and the interconnection by the cross braces, as 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, provides a very rigid and sturdy chassis struc ture.
  • the inward offset portions at the rear of the sills provide spaces to receive the inner portions of the rear wheels 23 and the rear springs 24 are arranged just inwardly of the rear wheels and in the plane of the rearmost diverging portions of the sills, the rear ends of the springs being supported by the usual shackles or the like from the rear ends of the sills and the forward ends of the springs extending forwardly of the oflset portion and being connected, through brackets 25, to the cross brace 19 interconnecting saidsills adj acent their region of greatest outward bulge.
  • the front springs 25 are disposed directly under the rearward diverging forward ends of the sills and secured thereto in any usual manner.
  • the wheel axles 26 and 27 are secured to the springs in any usual manner.
  • a vehicle chassis construction having side sills bodily bulged-outwardly of the chassis intermediate the front and rear Wheels to substantially the plane of the wheels and offset inwardly in their rear portions, whereby to receive the inner portions of the Wheels within said offset portions,'and springs suspending the rear wheels from the chassis having their rear ends secured to the rear ends of said offset portions of the sills and their forward ends secured to the chassis in said bulged-out region through a direct cross connection joining the bulged-out portions of said sills.
  • a vehicle chassis construction having portions of its side sills bodily bulged-outwardly of the chassis to conform substantially to the lines of the lower edge of the body superstructure to be carried thereby, the greatest distance between the sills being just forward of the rear wheels where the sills extend outwardly adjacent the plane of the wheels, the sills in rear of said location being ofi'set inwardly a substantial distance whereby to provide clearance for the wheels arranged opposite said ofi'setportions, and a unitary cross member connecting the bulgedout portions of said sills.
  • a vehicle chassis construction having portions of its side sills at front and rear diverging outwardly, and intermediate portions bodily bulged-outwardly of the chassis to conform substantially to the lower edge of the body superstructure adapted to be associated therewith and extending outwardly to substantially the planes of the wheels, and springs suspending the chassis from the running gear arranged under said diverging portions of the sills, the rear springs extending forwardly beyond said diverging portions and having their forward ends connected to a cross brace directly joining said bulgedoutportions of the sills.
  • a vehicle chassis construction having side sills bodily bulged outwardly of the chassis intermediate the front and rear wheels, a cross bar secured to and connecting said outwardly-bulgedportions, and springs signature.
